2. Initial thoughts
• Initially I was happy with my first shot of my short
film considering to begin with I wasn’t too
confident and was worried that my use of genre
wouldn’t come across. However, I am happy with
what I have so far, yet I know where I need to re
edit due to faults.
3. • Through feedback and my own ideas I have come
up with several different areas where I am going to
re take due to the fact that I want to push myself
and achieve the best grade I can.
4. • These areas include:
• Having a title under the protagonists name with ideas such as how old he is, how long he has lived in the house for and what
he might have experienced. This will give the audience a bigger insight to the background of him and therefore be more
engaged and feel more involved.
• Have more information about the house such as what it use to be like, along with it being an old pub, farmhouse etc, when
filming the pictures of the house.
• Film the house at day time so the audience have a better insight to what it looks like in the light, however then explain that it
‘comes alive at night’ and edit to a clip of the house in the dark.
• Before he shows the pictures of the house, show him going in the front door to allow fluency.
• Re film the second shot as it is too dark and therefore a pointless shot.
• Shoot his face from the inside of the house when he is inside to allow different shots.
• Record him during the night time and how he moves throughout the night. (time laps)
• Record the ghost going out of the room again due to ‘backstage’ helpers being seen in the clip.
• Film him going into the toilet again as it doesn’t look real.
• Film toilet pictures on tripod with zoom and steady shots to allow different shots again.
5. • taking everything into account, I will go back out
and re film to enable the short film to be the best it
can be.
